The goal of the Ohio Housing Council is to help professionals involved in all aspects of the affordable housing industry increase their participation in public policy debates and steer proposed regulatory requirements that could have a significant impact on the affordable housing industry in Ohio.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to serve as a Vice President for the Ohio Housing Council,” said Tracy Peters. “As a long-term member of the Ohio Housing Council, I have seen first-hand the educational and advocacy work of the Council and the benefits of being a member. I look forward to working with the executive team, board, and members to continue to find ways for the Council to be most effective for the affordable housing community.”

Tracy W. Peters joined the predecessor entity of Red Capital Group in 1993 as a specialist in structuring bond underwriting and placement issues for apartment projects enhanced primarily with FHA Mortgage Insurance/GNMA Mortgage-backed Securities or Fannie Mae Mortgage-backed Securities.
